1. A huge, mass of humanity that apparently includes people who are actually excited for Mutu to come back. *Headdesk*
2. LOL HAT. XD (Does it say "Roma"?... Oh, it's "Lotto" inside out, I get it.)
3. WHY IS ARTUR SO BIZARRELY HAPPY?! I know he's getting to play and all, but...! (Dan Wykowski must have stolen his razors.)
4. See? Papa, too, thinks it's gross and is judging you. That does seem the only possible explanation for that picture.
5. Is he doing the Serb hand thing? Do Poles do it too? Maybe Sinisa taught it to him...
6. Must be handy that Fabbrini is fab. Makes inventing nicknames easier.
7. Studlet: best new word.
8. Even the munchkin in the pink boots finds Bolatti weird.
9. Santana replaced him midway through the second half and woke La Viola up. They have a second half wake-up man. That sums up Fiorentina ( ... )

1. THANK YOU. SO EXASPERATING.
3. Drunk.
4. Do you think he just walks around with his judging face on? Cos if mine was that good, I'd definitely do it.
5. lol Well, nothing to do with getting a three-man wall. Certainly not that. :p
6. Oh man. Thank goodness he's not crap, cos calling him "Fab" (ironically) would be tempting under those circumstances, too.
7. *beams* (I considered "starlet" but that made me think of La Lohan, so I ruled it out.)
8. Aw! He's tiny!
9. LOL IRL IMC. (<---- In My Car while risking my life and those of others while reading email and driving.) Sigh. It's funny cos it's true.
10. I did know that they're generally white, but didn't know purple was best -- what tests did they run that led them to that conclusion? Is Fiorentina's gentleness on opponents involved? And can you go paint yours w/o getting in trouble w/whoever owns it?
11. \o/
14. (Ha! I think he's had it for a while, though "Khouma El Babacar" seems more common. Whoa, wiki says he's Khouma El Hadji Babacar! I would want that whole thing on my kit.)

1. Didn't he beat up a Kosovar? They're probably delighted about that.
3. Ah, yes, paint thinner.
4. The fact that his mouth's open makes it seem a bit impractical. Catch a lot of moths.
5. :P It was you lot who called it "The Serb Hand Thing" in the first place!
9. /o\ I sincerely hope you were at a red light.
10. ancient_bat read the report. She said white ones attract insects, then the birds come to eat the insects and get chopped up by the rotors. They experimented with other colours and purple, rather unexpectedly, came out on top. (XD They are rather big, you know; 40 metres or something. The people in neighbouring villages spend their entire lives complaining about them and how ugly they supposedly are, so I'm particularly in favour of the purple because it would make those people have kittens. Ho ho!)
14. Hadji? As in someone who's made the pilgrimage to Mecca? Maybe he's leaving that out because he hasn't yet. And ah, I get it, the "El" part is not the Spanish for "The". Pity; I was imagining him as Zorro or something.

1. Allegedly. Next his mom will tell us that all 14 waiters her innocent baby attacked were racist Kosovars.
4. Multitasking? No, you're right. Sorry.
5. lol Well, it's the Serb hand thing when a Serb is doing it to some end (with one of many, many meanings), doing it doesn't turn every keeper who wants three men in a wall into a Serb! Thought actually, that'd be nice for the NT coach ...
9. I was, in fact. I swear.
10. That's so weird! I mean, I don't think of purple as a particularly common color in nature. And what will keep those bugs from thinking the purple ones are giant flowers? (I still think you ought to pain the bottom 5 feet or so of yours. :D)

1. You know he's already said that IRL, don't you?
4. Well, since he's purple, I suppose that would keep the moths away...
9. *Is relieved* One Ruby's enough.
10. Don't ask me. Evidently all the other colours just attract insects more! (It would requite a lot of time and dedication. Can I wear purple clothes to gym instead, or something?... Lol, when I was there in my Chivu shirt there was another girl in a Barca one. And I beat her at lunges! That's art imitating life, or something. I need to buy a Sammy shirt and see what happens.)

1. Well, of course. Nothing's ever been his fault, as far as I know. (This amused me: "In Mutu’s defense, his latest ban was for sibutramine, an appetite suppressant. Unfortunately it doesn’t suppress asshole."
10. (*laughs a lot* Lunges are a competition? I had no idea! I bet I lose all the time, bloody hell.)

Unrelated but FYI, I'm wearing my lovely purple NUFC socks this AM. :D

Woo hoo! \o/ Purple takes over the world. As it should be. (Is it cold where you are? Hope they're keeping you warm.)

Cold yesterday and today (frost last night!), but it's supposed to be warm this weekend. The socks will help me get there.

Yeah, frost's just started here; I've been wrapping up the tender plants in the garden. It's sort of fun: you have to enclose them in a tube of chicken wire, fill it with straw and wrap it in horticultural fleece. The fleece is white, so the straw tubes look sort of like Casper the Friendly Ghost. Very Halloween-appropriate.

Ok, several questions.

1)Are they tender cos they're randomly just sprouting as winter starts, or are they tender all the time, full stop?
2)Each one gets its own little coffin? Good lord. That sounds very time and money-consuming.
3)If you don't wrap it will it definitely die, or does giving it a warm little coffin just help it along?

1. If a plant is "tender", that means the species or variety is not wholly suited for the climate in which you're trying to grow it. A plant that's tender in NY can be hardy in Britain, etc. My only tender plants are a ginger lily, a banana and a passion flower ( ... )
